(goes on to write about a nine hour Twin Peaks marathon...)

Interestingly, I read that the "Dream" sequence in Twin Peaks was recorded
the same way as the end of "Leave It Open": The actors recorded their lines
backward, then audio was played back backwards. They must have had to lip
synch during the actual filming...
 
All this talk about the "Delius" video made me drag out my copy. Damn good
video! It's always interesting to note how well Kate picked up the 
"tah..ta..TAH" sequence from Ken Russell's film and wroked it into the
song...

Yo Drukman! As for the sound quality of TSW, I can't really tell... my ears
got blown out long ago ... Maybe Kate's ears are doing the same...

Mark!!!  It's been a long time... Glad to see you back!

This is true, but they didn't lip synch.  They just played
*everything* backwards, audio and video.  You can see this clearly
when Laura tosses her hair and it looks rather strange...

I can tell.
